This year I signed us up to try out the blue heat system. It seems to be battery powered electric blanket pjs that you wear as the thermal layer under your dry suit. It took forever to get it set up. I will say, I did not get cold. I think for the water temperature in Northern California it really isn't necessary. The controls had two buttons. One for your torso, and one for hands and feet. My hands were very warm, my feet less so. I didn't notice too much difference in the torso, except towards the end when there were a few hot spots. Also the battery was supposed to last an hour on full power and powering a light. It lasted about 30 min without the light. I think I won't bother trying it again unless I'm going ice diving. But trying it out meant a bonus free hat.
This is a picture of where we were diving. It looks almost like a tropical beach, with beautiful clear water. It was a clear day, but not that great. I used my new measuring string and it was about 7m on the first dive, less on the second.
This is what the water looked like on our second dive. We forgot the camera for the first one.

This is a picture Steven took of some sea creatures. The water looks perfectly clear in it.
